Died. A.S. (for Alexander Sutherland) Neill, 89, Scottish psychologist and founder of the controversial Summerhill School; in Suffolk, England.

Now the band has been joined by David Austick, a bald lay preacher and bookseller, and Clement Freud...

"Scotland doesn't see a great deal of ballet," says Darrell, 43. "It's a matter of educating the public. I wanted to do a ballet that was going to be popular." Fair enough-for Scotland. But whether Hoffmann will catch on with the sophisticates among American Ballet Theater's audience is another matter...
